Was the 460 designed for SW? I thought it was, just did not know for sure.

Wifey got me a Sig 229 in 357 Sig in NH and it got me thinking.... what other guns are there that had calibers designed for them? Glock 37/38/39 in 45 Glock, aka 45 GAP Sig 226/229 in 357 Sig Desert Eagle in 50 Action Express Smith Wesson 500 in 500 S&W What others? I think it is stupid, but might start picking them up. What gun was 41 Action Express designed for? Wasn't it first in the Browning High Power or the Baby Desert Eagle?

Market forces, NICS, etc.
John, enjoy this bit of tangent, as well, we are getting our feelings and frustrations out, and everyone has been respectful is is the ONLY guideline here. You are absolutely right about transfer fees and they do vary. Until, I can personally do something about this, hint hint, wink wink, it is just part of the equation. It's really weird about gun availability, and the different phillosphies and business models the gun dealers in NJ choose. There are vendors on this forum who all take a different route, for some, they will only order items for you, and only new, other FFL's, deal a lot in used guns as well, for others, the business is the range. Much like the shooters on here, and in the state, there are different important factors, I am just glad we have choice. Now, if we are taking out all the extra value you get from the FFL, and we strip out the gas and tolls driving to someone across the state, then yes, as a commodity, I suppose $25 transfer, no more than $50 is ideal. =)

Market forces, NICS, etc.
If the ffl start factoring their time, at 25 a pop, transfers are a loss leader. How do you make a small fortune in the gun business? You start with a big one. The only place you can make decent money is used guns or you start charging for your time Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Accepting mail? Hah. Ffl takes 100% of the liability, the hours or work to log the gun, call or fax Nics, see you once or twice, and have your guns take up space in his safe. Then there is the chance you get Nics rejected, or wait months for permits or fid, or your gun is not nj compliant. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Someone has a great sheet here with transfer prices. No reason to pay more than $50 plus nics. And a lot of dealers here are $25 to $35 plus nics Storage fees I understand..... And most will not charge... But then you have people like me who had guns at an FFL for close to a year waiting for permits.

Ammunition in checked luggage
I flew out of ACY a few times. Spirit gate agents are pretty good. Just don't get there 30mins before flight. No issues any of the times.

New Background Check Every 6 Months?
Bob is absolutely correct. Lets not spread false info unless we are absolutely sure. There is no fee for mental health check. The $18 is optional for the PD. since I see my pd officer regularly, and because financial services requirements include a ton of prints, unless it has been a long long time, my pd waives the $18. Typically, if it has been over a year since they last saw you....$18.

Can handguns be bought FTF privately ?
Just read the BIG RED LINK in John's signature. =)

Handguns You Are Still Having Trouble Finding...
Really? I have seen P30's in Otto's, RTSP, PK90 has them now, Cheyenne Mountain. Pretty much every store I go into has various P30's. The ones that are tough to find are the P30L without the safety.

NEW EVIDENCE RELEASED BY ZIMMERMANS ATOURNEYS..
I don't know what teens you run across but I don't think a teen who smokes weed, gets suspended multiple times from school, gets kicked out by his mother and sent off to his father, gets into multiple fights and brags about it...... is a typical teen nowadays.

NEW EVIDENCE RELEASED BY ZIMMERMANS ATOURNEYS..
Reading some of the comments on Huffington Post... it is just WTF. But, going back to the handgun thing... how did TM get a handgun legally as he was 17? GZ does not need to prove he innocent, the prosecutor needs to prove GZ killed TM "evincing a depraved mind, regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design..." Ie... GZ approached TM, was scared and shot him. Personal past should absolutely matter in this situation.... or are you ok with hiring a child molestor who served his time to babysit your 10 year old daughter? Simply put, based on how it went down, this was self defense, and under political pressure, charges were filled. I just hope this stupidity ends soon. When I was in FL talking with others, they can't wait for this nonsense to end.

The Purge - movie trailer
Hey... keep The Slow and the Curious 6 out of this movie thread..... I will admit, that ricer stuff is a guilty pleasure.... I will absolutely see it on TV.... not sure about in the movies. Speaking of good movies, when is that Zombie one supposed to be out? World War Z?

What revolver should I choose as my first?
Btw, you can shoot Production division with a revolver or Limited 10 or Open, and load all cylinders... but you are going up against the semi auto guns. =) Revolver division is 6.

A political question about gun stores ???
I think within a month, this will be a non issue, speaking with vendors and FFL's, the nics time is now coming down, down to 13 days now. They did hire new people, and yes, they will be going to an e-check system soon.

Thugs Picked The Wrong House
For the LEO in here.... how common is it for guys to be a group breaking in? Isn't it usually just one or two guys? If so, here is the answer as to why we need 30 round magazines in the AR.

What revolver should I choose as my first?
I will add, if you really want a Colt Python, get a colt python if you find one around $1200 or so. They go up in price every year, and people will get their price. Colt has repeatedly stated they are out of the revolver game, and you cannot produce as fine of a revolver in today's marketplace for a reasonable price. Keep in mind, when Colt started doing the pythons again, in the early 2000's, iirc, the price was much higher, and once again, the older ones went up even more in value, not to mention, better fit finish, triggers. Lastly, the cold bluing on those revolvers, yum, Colt Royal Blue.... just wow. PK90 a year or two ago had a goregous blued Python for $1200, that I feel like an ass for not picking up. Right now, $1500 minimum. Humn, I probably should pick up that 3" Royal Blue from 1970's in 99% condition.
